The comprehensive business resources of Beijing Capital International Airport have not only attracted multinationals, but also high-profit Chinese brands.

Commercial opportunities at the Beijing Capital International Airport have attracted over 200 catering companies and retailers. Some luxury brands are even preparing to open a second outlet.

Lu Ji, Bulgari Beijing Distributor said "China is the fastest growing market for luxury goods. And the growth could even surpass the numbers in Japan and the US. So the outlook is definitely good."

Many well-known Chinese restaurants, like Quanjude and Beijing Nine-gate Traditional Snack Restaurant, have attended the promotional fair. Meanwhile, the largest producer of traditional Chinese medicine, Tongrentang, and the famous Chinese tea shops Zhang Yiyuan and Wu Yutai, are also preparing to make their entry.

Yuan Qinghua, General Manager of Beijing Nine-Gate Traditional Snack Restaurant said "The airport is a internalized market. Opening a branch here will also boost our brand awareness among various traveler groups. We are not just focusing on profit-making. "

Cheng Jing, Manager of Beijing Tongrentang Jiankang Pharmacy said "The location here is very good for PR. We are trying to promote traditional Chinese industry in the global market."

Artistic Chinese glass studio Liuligongfang, personal health and beauty retailer Mannings, as well as Chow Tai Fook Jewellery, are all bidding for airport business opportunities.
